Chapter 96
Ning Baiquan understood at a glance that none of the functions of these three portals were repeated.
The first portal appeared in the center of the battlefield. Waves filled with water element magic swept over like an overwhelming force, creating a combat advantage for marine creatures in the sea even on land.
This almost constitutes a domain of land and ocean. There are not many top hunters in various countries who can achieve this. Ning Baiquan has never seen a top hunter who can possess water element ability and use the ability to this extent.
But the mermaid wearing the crown did it.
The mermaids' individual combat capabilities are very strong, and they can also use tactics flexibly. The high defense capabilities given by their scales give them a very high combat tolerance rate. Even when facing those general-level monsters, they can contain and consume them.
They're responsible for those tough, center-of-the-battle guys.
The reinforcements that appeared in the second portal were different from the mermaids. They were more like humans. If it were not for the current situation, if they appeared in daily life, they would only be regarded as compatriots who like to dress in strange clothes.
But correspondingly, their combat effectiveness is much lower than that of the mermaids.
However, they are numerous, fast, and not scary in appearance, making them very effective in both rescuing people and dealing with those who try to break through the defense.
Especially the white-haired young man holding the red tasseled spear, he was so reckless in killing that his murderous aura was so overwhelming that no monster could block his way or get past him.
but……
Compared with these two doors, Ning Baiquan believes that the third door is the core and the most important one.
Even from that door, only one person emerged.
She doesn't have the strength of the white-haired boy, nor the means of controlling the situation of the mermaid queen, but she brings endless hope, just like her sunny blonde hair.
Su Xingyuan, who originally symbolized turning point and hope, only appeared for a moment. He rushed directly into the portal and disappeared from people's sight. No one knew his situation in the portal.
But they can see a blonde girl who is as holy as an angel.
As long as she appears on the battlefield, there will be no death - this is not hope at all, in the eyes of these people, she is the god herself!
Being pulled out in despair and given new life, the principle is almost the same as that of a suspension bridge, but the feedback it brings is a hundred times that of the suspension bridge effect!
At this moment, Ning Baiquan heard about the blonde girl who was about to become a god in one battle. If she were an ordinary hunter, she only needed to work hard and maybe she could get the status of a "goddess" or "saint". He said calmly and naturally:
"Just think of me as your lord's servant."
Ning Baiquan: “…”
Lord. Servant.
——Lord? !
When did Su Xingyuan become the lord? ?
Ning Baiquan realized more clearly that his understanding of the black-haired boy was very little and superficial.
As for that "servant", Ning Baiquan didn't believe that the status of the blonde girl would be so low, and Su Xingyuan didn't seem like the kind of person who liked to have sex with maids.
Then, the word "servant" explains another thing -
It was the blonde girl herself who put herself in such a humble position, looking at Su Xingyuan as if the hunter she saved was looking at her.
Ning Baiquan took a deep breath. Because of the appearance of the portal, his pressure suddenly decreased a lot, and he was able to spare some time to think about other things.
Coming out of the portal...are they the natives of the dungeon? But how could there be such native residents of the underground city?
What’s more, they are the indigenous people who took the initiative to help humans!
According to Ning Baiquan's intelligence, these intelligent humanoid creatures that do not have such a strong desire to kill rarely appear in the dungeons. Most dungeons are not very large and are filled with various monsters that occupy every inch of land.
These humanoid creatures basically have no good feelings towards humans. If you meet them, the best outcome is to live in peace with them. You never know, you might even be stabbed in the back by them.
One of the things is to be cautious about the fact that those who are not of my kind must have different hearts. Sometimes, a large dungeon will appear multiple times, and you never know what some morally corrupt hunters may do, so it is very likely that the indigenous people will harbor hatred towards humans.
But no matter what...this situation is unbelievable.
Even if Su Xingyuan raised his hand to summon an army of undead, he could accept it. At most, he could just treat it as a necromancer as a side job. After all, that was Su Xingyuan. Ning Baiquan was very good at calming himself down at such times - and many similar concepts had appeared in various games and film and television works.
But using a [portal] to summon [natives] is a bit unbelievable, right?
Or is it that the Suxingyuan are not actually human at all, and this "savior" who walked out of the portal is actually the same as the indigenous people in their cognition?
Ning Baiquan had been using his abilities non-stop and was now feeling dizzy. Receiving such a huge amount of information at once overheated his CPU.
He was just about to press his temples to rest for a while when he felt grateful that the people brought by Su Xingyuan could finally let him breathe a sigh of relief. No matter who they are, it is an indisputable fact that they saved J City and saved so many people.
——Then, he suddenly remembered why he always had a vague weird feeling when he saw the blonde girl just now.
His subconscious mind was resisting him from thinking deeply about this feeling, but as a hunter who could quickly find the corresponding information in his brain, he successfully bypassed the obstruction of his subconscious mind and found the picture that could almost cause brain death -
Su Xingyuan, blonde hair, face.
Ning Baiquan: “…”
Ning Baiquan: “…………”
"Deputy Commander Ning!"
A cry of surprise came from the side. The subordinate supported Ning Baiquan's shaky body and asked hurriedly: "How do you feel, Deputy Captain Ning? Did you overdraw your magic power? Or were you hit by a mental ability?"
Ning Baiquan forced himself to stop reminiscing, and then he felt that his brain belonged to him again. He said in a complicated tone: "...It's a bit of both."
His magic power was indeed a bit overdrawn, and what happened later...it's not an exaggeration to say that it was a mental shock.
It turns out that the identity of "Leafa" that Su Xingyuan used at the beginning was not something he made up at random, but was directly copied from the face of the blonde girl next to him!
Why didn't he think of it at the time? Su Xingyuan can make his face look so shocking that it can make the world shake and the ghosts cry. Most people can't do it even if they want to. But he can actually make a face that is almost the opposite of... the appearance of an ancient god. Isn't it possible to do it by copying it?
Even "Leafa" is not an ordinary C-level pharmacist. Judging from the abilities she has demonstrated, she is fully qualified to be treated as a guest of honor by various countries.
So as early as that time, Leafa had been with him for some time.
"If I remember correctly, the prophecy at the time said that the being that came out of the portal would be the savior."
While Ning Baiquan was deep in thought, a calm voice came. Fu Duxing looked at the completely changed scene of J City at this time and said, "So, now that so many people have walked out of the portal, who is the savior, Deputy Chief Ning?"
The man raised his head, his eyes were dark, and there were obvious hints in his words, but because he had always been a very rational and even somewhat inhuman person, the hunters around him did not react too much, and even couldn't help but think along the lines of what he said.
Ning Baiquan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"President Fu Duoxing means..."
Fu Duxing retracted his gaze and fell on Leafa, his tone still calm: "How do we know whether the one who walked out of the portal is the savior or the natives?"
The man didn't say anything completely derogatory. "Aboriginal" is a neutral word, but the deeper meaning it represents is not friendly to humans.
Most humans do not believe in the unconditional kindness and help of aliens. They believe that such help has other purposes.
For example...
Will the indigenous people whose homes have been invaded by monsters and demons want to plunder human land?
Ning Baiquan's eyes darkened slightly behind his lenses.
Fu Duoxing's words seemed to make sense at first glance. He was just raising doubts from an absolutely rational perspective and proposing a hypothesis that had some possibility. However, this hypothesis might be a little uncomfortable for Su Xingyuan.
The hunters who heard these words would not think that there was anything wrong with what Fu Duoxing said. In their minds, this was all normal behavior from Fu Duoxing.
But Ning Baiquan is different from them. He tends to think more and prefers conspiracy theories.
It is true that Fu Duoxing is a rational person, but shouldn’t a more rational person understand what these words mean now, on the battlefield, when Su Xingyuan and his subordinates are rescuing the citizens of J City?
In terms of interests, Su Xingyuan is used to doing whatever he wants, and he is willing to protect humans. But if he is questioned by humans, he will definitely be the type of person who will say, "I quit, you guys play with yourselves," and will slap the person who questions him twice and will never suffer any anger.
Who will deal with the portals and monsters in J City then? Fu Duoxing and his Zhuichuan Guild?
Morally speaking, they are saving your life. Even if they were plotted against, they still came all the way from Country S. According to the information Ning Baiquan just got, it probably took Su Xingyuan only five minutes to get here from Country S. It can be said that he tried his best to make the journey.
Moreover, his black dragon, his portal, his top pharmacist... these were the trump cards that could allow the enemy to catch them by surprise when they were plotting against him, and he threw them all out to pull J City out of the quagmire.
Even if he is really an indigenous person, he has done the most for human beings!
Does Fu Duoxing still have the shame to say this in public at this time? ?
Perhaps he also felt that something was wrong. Fu Duxing paused and added: "But judging by deeds rather than intentions, the achievements of the Xingyuan Hunters are worthy of being recorded in history."
Ning Baiquan: “…”
What happened to Fu Duoxing? Was he possessed by evil spirits?
It couldn't be that Su Xingyuan arrived too timely, and because he relaxed for a moment, he spoke out what was in his heart?
……wrong.
The man suddenly realized something - another interpretation of the situation just now.
Why couldn't it be that Su Xingyuan arrived too timely and displayed such horrific methods that Fu Duoxing began to panic and thus carried out such a low-level estrangement without thinking it through?
Then...why did Fu Duxing feel panicked?
Thinking of a somewhat unbelievable possibility, a sense of horror instantly spread over Ning Baiquan's body, and even the thin sweat that had just appeared due to the overdraft of magic power turned cold. This feeling of extreme horror and belated realization was really enough to make one's scalp tingle.
Unless - Fu Duoxing was one of the people who trapped Su Xingyuan in Country S and planned the explosion of the portal in City J!
This is just a guess, but precisely because this guess is too terrifying, Ning Baiquan dare not jump to a conclusion, nor does he dare to deny this guess just because of Fu Duoxing's management and contributions over the years.
He still needs...more to prove.
Ning Baiquan began to search his memories carefully again.
This time, the time point in his mind stopped at a photo of a white car that Su Xingyuan sent him, which looked like a casual shot.
*
After Su Xingyuan released three doors, he took advantage of the black dragon opening the way, turned on [Shock] and rushed directly into this S-level portal.
The moment he landed, he smoothly and without hesitation - drank more than ten bottles of magic recovery potion.
Ordinary hunters cannot constantly restore their magic power through potions, nor can they restore it on a large scale. For example, in the first round, Fang Mujian could no longer replenish his magic power and gave all the potions he had to other hunters.
But players can.
After taking another dose, Su Xingyuan finally recovered his intelligence which was on the verge of bankruptcy after opening three portals in one breath.
Even though he closed the door immediately to reduce consumption after noticing the residents of the territory coming out, the amount of magic power consumed was still a terrifying number.
In fact, it is not surprising if you think about it. Although the teleportation channel in the Hunter Association is also a teleportation, it is a teleportation within a world and the teleportation distance is not long. There are many teleportation points that need to be constantly maintained. If you want to reach a certain place, you can only keep teleporting.
However, the portal opened by Su Xingyuan is truly cross-world, and it can even be said to be one of his hunter abilities, so the consumption is of course greater.
Without waiting for himself to fully recover, he rushed directly in the direction of his memory, allowing the time to recover and the journey to go hand in hand, so as to pass through the portal as quickly as possible.
At this time, Xin Yunxi had broken through the BOSS's obstruction by relying on his blood relationship with Xin Yunting, and came to Xin Yunting. After taking a last look at him, he was ready to absorb his magic power.
Her hair fluttered, and after a moment of hesitation, she approached Xin Yunting firmly.
“Swish!”
A green knife light flashed by, and it was a short knife that flew out of the hand!
The dagger directly cut off her dancing hair, but without stopping for a moment, it rushed straight towards the black mist beside her!
Xin Yunxi couldn't help but fall into a moment of shock.
She couldn't help but want to turn her head and look in the direction where the dagger came from, but she heard a cold laugh from the black fog: "I am in the state of fog, do you think a knife can hurt me? Why don't you go and kill this——"
The dagger sank into the black mist.
The blue flame covering the dagger, which was so tiny that it was imperceptible to the naked eye, suddenly rose, spread, and soared into the sky!
The blue flames seemed to naturally have a deep restraint on monsters. Even if they didn't touch the black fog, it would make it want to shrink uncontrollably. But now the flames were connected into one, almost burning the air and demonic energy around it, and even directly hurt his body!
Amid the sharp howls that spilled out of the black fog, the black-haired boy drank another magic potion. He smiled at the corners of his lips, but there was no emotion in his eyes.
“This time it’s a speedrun version.”
He said.
——Directly choose the method that consumes the most magic power but is the most effective and quickest, and run over the enemy's face!
If in previous battles Su Xingyuan would rationally plan his magic power, and various tricks for recovering and saving magic power allowed him to use a set of skills at any time, then now he was using magic power as fuel and using fire as a basic attack, striving to burn the BOSS to ashes within thirty seconds.
As for such a high intensity of fire crossing and such a long time, what to do if there is not enough magic power?
He stockpiled so many potions just for today, didn't he? :)
Xin Yunxi looked at the black-haired hunter who drank the potion as if it were water, with a slightly dazed expression.
At this time, she also noticed that the scattered black mist mice hid back in Xin Yunting's body, as if they wanted to use Xin Yunting's body as a protective shell to avoid the terrifying blue flames.
Xin Yunxi clenched her fists, her nails digging into her flesh, but her tone seemed very calm: "Brother can't come back, I know. Go ahead, Xingyuan Hunter."
Suxingyuan Hunter: "Okay."
Black Mist: “???”
Wait, shouldn't you show some hesitation, entanglement, and touching scenes? What are you doing at such a fast speed? Really come to speed pass? ?
Give it some time to use its abilities!
However, how could Su Xingyuan wait for it to extend the battle line? He surrounded it with Du Huo to prevent it from escaping. He took Ding Fengbo back in his hand and stabbed it into Xin Yunting's forehead without changing his expression!
The knife was steady, accurate and ruthless, without hesitation and extremely spicy.
Black Mist screamed in pain, this human was serious! !
It can no longer stay inside the container, otherwise it will surely perish along with the container!
At the critical moment, Black Mist discovered that the damage caused by the blue flames seemed to have decreased a little, probably because the black-haired hunter no longer had enough magic power.
That's right, this hunter has taken so many magic potions that the magic power in his body should have been out of balance in a short period of time. This is a great opportunity for him to cut off his tail and survive!
The black mist was ecstatic, and just before the sharp knife landed on the container's forehead, it suddenly rushed out of the container, risking serious injury in an attempt to break through the layer of blue flames.
However, the moment it entered the range of the flame, the intensity of the flame instantly returned.
Even a level higher!
Black Mist: “……???”
Oops, I got scammed!
However, it was too late to go back now, as it had already been surrounded by the fire and separated from the container.
The black-haired hunter slowly retracted the sharp knife that had not caused any damage to the container.
For him, stopping that level of attack in an instant was as easy and natural as eating and drinking. He only needed to give instructions in his mind and his body would complete them meticulously.
The black-haired hunter's eyes fell on Kuroki, who had fallen into the trap.
"I told you, this is a speed pass."
The next moment.
Black Mist's consciousness completely disappeared in this space.
